Chapter 20

Loric

“For fates sake…” Jesper whispers, sneaking across the cavern.

I glance to my left, where Vik is speed walking down the row of doors, disappearing into the spring room.

“Don’t look at her,” he says, and I reluctantly turn my attention back to him. “She’s a snitch, but she’ll tell everyone except Brenn. ”

He remains vigilant , keeping an eye out for anyone else who decides to step out of one of the rooms. Despite the circumstances his high-stepped tiptoe is enough to bring a smile to my face, and he comes a significant distance in just a couple seconds. However, Jesper screeches to a halt in the middle of the cavern, his spine lengthening. Eyes closed, he brings a clenched fist to his lips, like it could hush the sexually frustrated whimper that leaves them. He takes a huge step back as the lump in his throat bobs. Only then does he look at me again, his eyes pleading as if he’s in pain. “I’m going to need you to come this way. I didn’t realize her lady time was going to happen that quickly or be that potent… Someone should give you a medal for surviving a night in there and being able to walk afterward.”

I shake my head, crossing the cavern. His face scrunches as I near. “Fuck, I take it back. Just stay over there. You reek of that divine woman. Perhaps a bath, then come find me.”

“I don’t have time. Do you want to know what I found out, or not?” I cock my head, crossing my arms over my chest.

“Found out? What did you find out? I was coming to talk to you about what I saw just now.”

I cock my head in challenge and he pouts his lower lip, shoulders slumping. “Fine, I'll suffer. Tell me.”

Continuing forward, I close the distance between us. I’d much rather be prepared for their questions before telling the others, and whisper yelling across the cave isn’t going to help with that.

“I hope you plan to at least court her. Put us all out of our misery,” Jesper says, plugging his nose, as if that’ll help.

I give him a stern look, arching a brow, and he sighs heavily before bringing a mug of ale to his lips, taking a deep gulp as if he needs liquid courage to get through this. At this point I almost wonder if he has the right idea.

Clearing my throat, I come right out with it. “I think Calamity is a dragon.”

Jesper chokes on his drink, his eyes watering as they meet mine. “Excuse me? Did you just say–”

“You heard me,” I whisper, trying to keep my voice down.

There’s a seriousness that falls over Jesper’s face, one I’m not used to seeing. “Did you sleep with her or did you sleep with her? I wasn’t sure if I caught sight of some sneaky nonsense about to go down or concluding. A man can never be sure with just a glimpse. Vik’s body was in the way.
